Good luck trying to get me to care about anything else when I'm in the throes of obsessing over a designer buy. As soon as an item tugs at my heartstrings, I'll stay up all night thinking about it and do more mathematical calculations than I've ever done before to figure out how I can afford to own it. Right now, the object of my full attention is none other than the Prada Symbole Sunglasses. A combination of a classic slim oval silhouette and a subtle cat-eye shape, they caught my eye as soon as I first saw them online. I've been able to focus on little else since.
Or at least I was until I stumbled upon a similar oval-shaped pair while scrolling throughReplica Store. With a $517 price tag, the Prada pair I desire doesn't come cheap. The Fifth Ninth Taya Sunglasses I found onReplica Store, however, only cast a fraction of that at $49. Plus, they feature a very similar retro shape. While nothing will ever come close to Prada, I'm genuinely shocked at how well this affordable alternative compares. I'll still be dreaming about the designer iteration, but I plan on buying theReplica Store pair to satisfy my desire in the meantime.
But it's not just me. Slim oval sunglasses inspired by the '90s are suddenly everywhere this season, and celebs from Sofia Richie to Laura Harrier are wearing the retro style. So once you peruse both the Prada andReplica Store pairs I'm highlighting, continue to shop more oval sunglasses that are classic, cool, and rather expensive-looking if you ask me.
